I've got an interview invite 3 weeks ago and finished my first alumni interview, but the 2nd alumni interviewer is missing. I've tried calls, messages, emails, etc, non of that works! did anyone have the same experience? can I contact my AO for the matter above?

Quite strange that, when do you have your interview deadline?¿
Did you confirm the contact details with the AO?

You can always contact your AO, if you are unable to reach the interviewer and does not reply by any mean in a week I would have called the AO asap, they can provide other interviewers and who knows why you do not get an answer from the alumn...

Regards,
Pablo

Hi Pablo, my ddl for interview is 12th of July. i confirmed all the details with AO already. I even tried to add the interviewer on linkedin(interestingly she's INSEAD intake 2004 with a extremely brief intro.....) and send her inmail. no reply whatsoever. Her number was now used by a kind retired lady so.... :lol:

Anyway I'll try to reach the AO and see how things can get sorted out. thanks for the advice!

If the phone is not right just contact the AO, they will provide another interviewer, you have plenty of time then.

Regards,
Pablo

Anyone else applying in R3 and feeling super anxious? Feels like the number of applications this year are off the charts.. I’m unable to stop obsessing about my essays. Every time I look at them I edit them further.

When does one stop and just get comfortable enough to hit submit!?

I am and rely on a couple of friends to read through my essays and provide me with as much feedback as possible.

Not sure what to make out of all the posts here about how competitive it will be to get accepted in r3 or 4. I mean yes, surely there will be an increased competition due to the deferrals but in general I usually go straight to the admissions team if I have any questions and so far they have been supportive. I try not to panic. Though maybe part of the reason is because my profile isn’t that common ??‍♀️ (Eastern Europe, female)

i just got a rejection email, I am from India. I have a low gpa and i asked for an extension for the gmat. I honestly was pretty confident about my essays, gave my all, but here we are, did not get an interview invite. So to say that a person with a 3.7 gpa and a 760 gmat got rejected due to a very high gmat because he/she would target/prefer US schools is really weird unless the same person did not show major interest in the essays. For me the gpa and the gmat play a very important role when it comes into the profile eval. Everyone has great stories( Most of them pay the consultants so yeah mostly the essays are good), everyone has excellent recommendations i mean no manager would say, i don't like this person LOL, the reason your managers/colleagues are writing a recommendation for you is that they like you.

So now how do the schools differentiate, obviously via the GMAT & the gpa, especially for someone who belongs to a large applicant pool such as that of India, ofcourse there are "exceptions". Deep down, everyone knows this, but no one says it.

All the best to everyone, i really hope you all do really well \m/ :) :)

Best Regards,

First, unhappy that you got rejected. What is your GPA, if you want to share? Thanks for backing me that adcoms don't reject high GPAs/GMATs purely based on those criteria. But I agree with Pablo though. When did you complete your application that gave you an early decision?

I also agree that schools don't discriminate against you just b/c your high stats may signal that you prefer US schools. They don't make that kind of baseless assumption. Schools over-admit all the time, and they always try to admit the best people out there. So rejecting a high-stat candidate with probably stella essays is sth hard to comprehend

Hi all,

Going back to the large numbers of deferrals, despite being true that quite a lot of 21J have deferred, as I theorized, not all have to 21D, so the 370 number of "admits" for 21D with R1+deferrals it is not such.
Anyway, the school is going to increase the class size of 21D considering the 21J deferrals, so we should not worry too much for the selection now, neither will have to R3-R4 candidates.

Regards,
Pablo

I did email a marketing director I did a 121 with, if it was my opinion I would have stated it, so there is hope ;)

I think that INSEAD will not reduce the number of admitted for 2021. I don't know what scheme they will use to accommodate the current situation, but i'm pretty sure they are not ready to lose millions in tuitions. They'll find a way.

Hi All,

I just got my result where they have advised me to be considered for the GEMBA program instead of the FT based on my profile. So if I am interested they will transfer my application to be considered for that program instead.

Did anybody else get this response?
